The number of particles in the beams used at CERN is measured by a family of devices called the Beam Current Transformers (BCTs). One of such devices is the DC Current Transformer (DCCT) measuring the total number of particles in an accelerator. The DCCT i ...
This article presents position statements and a question-and-answer session by panelists at the Fourth Workshop on Computer Architecture Research Directions. The subject of the debate was the use of field-programmable gate arrays versus GPUs in datacenters ...

Portability and efficiency are usually antagonists in multi-core computing. In order to develop efficient code, one needs to take into account the topology of the target multi-cores (e.g., for locality). This clearly hampers code portability. In this paper ...
In this thesis, we explore techniques for the development and verification of programs in a high-level, expressive, and safe programming language. Our programs can express problems over unbounded domains and over recursive and mutable data structures. We p ...
The recent ability to integrate materials with different optical and optoelectronic properties in prescribed architectures within flexible fibers is enabling novel opportunities for advanced optical probes, functional surfaces and smart textiles. In partic ...
In recent years, neural network accelerators have been shown to achieve both high energy efficiency and high performance for a broad application scope within the important category of recognition and mining applications. Still, both the energy efficiency a ...
Healthcare delivery is evolving towards new Wireless Body Sensor Nodes (WBSN), which are miniaturized devices able to acquire, process and transmit subjects’ bio-signals in real time within a tiny energy budget. Recent efforts on AD converters and transmis ...
